Artist To Watch: Phase V

Phase V is truly a modern boy band, or as they call themselves an “urban-pop boy band.”   We love that they are a boy band in the classic sense of the word:  They sing, they dance, they sing while they dance – they’ve got it!  (The right stuff.)  Phase V’s brand new single, “Drop It” is out now and it’s everything you need in a summer jam.   As fangirls of 90s boy bands, it’s safe to say that Phase V might be our new favorite artist to come out the recent 90s resurgence.

Be sure to pick up a copy of Phase V’s “Drop It” on iTunes and Amazon.  Watch the official video below.

We hope these guys go on tour soon (and play in NYC) because we’re going to need to experience their smooth harmonies and sharp dance moves in person!   They also did a cover of Justin Timberlake’s “Not a Bad Thing,” which we’ve always said would sound great with a 5-part harmony.

The Friday Five: Top Songs of the Week

Summer Fridays are in full swing, and we can’t wait for the weekend!  Here’s what we’re listening to this week.

1. Austin Mahone – “Secret”
We’ve decided this is the official SecretFangirls.com theme song.  We lost it when Austin performed this at Summer Jam last weekend, and are so glad someone caught it on video, because his choreography is ON POINT (as always).  We don’t call him the one man boy band for nothing.

2. Macklemore & Ryan Lewis – “And We Danced”
We saw Macklemore & Ryan Lewis at the Hammerstein Ballroom over two weeks ago.   And we danced, and we laughed, and we cried, and had a really really really good time.  And it was such a party that we are still finding random pieces of confetti everywhere.

3. Justin Timberlake – “Not a Bad Thing”
While we’ve always said this song would sound amazing as a 5-part harmony (ahem *NSYNC you can cover this on your reunion tour), it’s just as beautiful with JT.

4. Midnight Red – “Hell Yeah”
Okay, so we had this song on last week’s Friday Five.  But we’ve seen Midnight Red twice this week, so this song has been permanently stuck in our heads (and we’re totally okay with it).

5. Victoria Justice – “Gold”
We know that Victoria is focusing on her acting projects now, but we miss her music!  We especially love this single, “Gold,” and are hoping that we will still get a full album sometime soon!
